War on Reavers Proposed. STATE CAPITOI Salem. Or.. Jan. 27. iSoeclaX) There will be no closed Senate Approve Bill to Slake Opera tive Provisions of Constitu tional Amendment. STATE CAPITOL Salem, Or.. Jan. IT 4 Special.) Senator C. A. Barrett's Good Road Association bill was the third of tha measures proposed by that association to pass tba Senate. This bill Is drafted with tha Idea of carrying out and making operative tha provt slons of the constitutional amendment passed at the last general election and permitting counties to bond for the construction of good roads. Barrett's attempts to amend the bill to take within lta provisions abutting property owners failed after much dis cussion. Barren's original amendment In thla connection came In the shape of an added section requiring that abut ting- property owners pay 10 per cent of the cost of tha road. Joseph would amend this still further and require abutting property ownera to pay S3 1-3 per cent of the cost. Carson contended that such amendments would nullify the whole measure. Selling objected to any amendments of this nature whatao ever and on vote the amendments or both Joseph and Barrett were lost, thus freeing abutting property ownera from a direct levy In connection with spe cific road work. Only minor amendments were made In the measure, sava one or some im portance Introduced by Lester and adopted. This provides that no special elections under the bill to pass on coun ty road bonding can be held during the same year as a general election, nis Idea beina- to aave county expense. When the bill came for final vote im result stood as follows: Yeas Albee. Barrett (Umatilla). Bar rett (Washington), Bowerman, Burgess, Carson. Joseph. Kellaher, Lester. Locke, Malarkev. McCuUoch. Merryraan. jsor ton. Nottingham. Oliver. Fatton, Von der Hellen. Wood. Selling. Noes Abraham. Calkins. Dlmlck, Hawley. Hoskins. Miller, Farrish. Sin- not t. President Selling, who had exchanged aeata with Miller during the morning aa tha good roads bonding act went into eommlttee of the whole.- expressed himself forcibly after A. I. Mason, or Mood River, lobbrlst for the btate Oranire. had outlined the road policy of the Orange and had carted attention to substitute bills which would come into the Senate from the House if success ful In the lower body. "I am onoosed to these obstruction Ists and their tactics." said Selling. "If thev continue to keep on In this man ner I will vota no on all of these road bills, even though I am In favor of them. We of Multnomah County are putting forth our best efforta to secure roads for the rest of the state and for the farmers and we are meeting so much opposition on all sides that It seema as though we will literally have to force good roads through. I for one Intend to cease this wrangling and if the opposition continues I Intend to go squarely against these duis. 'I further object to ine continual in slnuatlons being thrown out that coun ty courts cannot be depended upon. 1 dislike these Imputations and 'talk of dishonesty on the part of public orn- ciala. If vour county courta are ais honest elect new ones that are honest. but I do not believe that wa have dig honest courta in thla state." Two further road bills were consld ered this morning Senate bill 73, by Carson, and Senate biU 70. by Barrett of Umatilla. Both of these are asso ciation bills. Carson's bill provides for the work Ing of inmates of county and city Jails on the public roads and when Carson moved that the Senate go into a com mittee of the wtiole for consideration of It. Malarkey protested, declaring that tha bill was Identical with the convict road bill passed the day before. Malar. key and Carson passed some flings at one another across the Senate Cham ber. Carson denying that the bill was tha same. On Inspection it was dis covered that a mistake had been made In the printing and the body of the convict road bill bad been printed un der tha DroDer title of Carson's bill. Carson made the allegation after the morning session that the bill had been tampered with and said that the back on tha bill as found In the records was different than the back on the bill when originally Introduced. Inspection of tbe original bill shows that the mis take waa evidently made beiora intro duction. Burins; the discussion Carson also made the allegation that a big delega tion of Sheriffs haa been at tha Capi tol ready to lobby against hla bill. It was finally decided to re-reier ana re print Senate bill 71, owing to the error In printing, ana ins senate went, miu committee of the whole on Barrett's bill carrying out the provisions of the county bonding amendment to the con stitution as passed by tha people at the last general election. Consideration of thla was taken up aeotlon by section. Baker Man Falls; Badly Hurt. BAKER. Or, Jan. 27. (Special.)

The Central Labor Council put Itself on record last night ss opposed to the proposed amendment now before the Legislature to amend the employers lia bility law. A letter was drafted) which Is to be sent to each member of the Leg islature, expressing the Council's disap proval of any legislation that in any way interferes with the present law. A telegram voicing the Council's dis approval was also addressed to the chairman of the legislative committee having In charge the measure to have the Railroad Commission act as a com pulsory arbitration board in disputes be tween railroads and their employes. The Council Is emphatically opposed to such an enactment. - In a report presented by William Mackenzie and A. Madsen, delegates to the recent State Federation of Labor meeting at Salem, attention was called to the fact that on the night the Armory there was to be used for the meeting it was oc4pied by members of the Na tional Guard. The delegates referred to the Inconvenience to which tbe meet ing was put in preparing the Armory for the meeting. The delegates expressed the opinion .that the fact of the building being occupied at a time when it had been rented by the State Federation of Labor was a slight to that body. Tha three public service corporation bills now before the Legislature were referred to the legislative committee of the Council and the recommendations of its members will be discussed at a later meeting, when action will be taken with reeard to them. The committee from the "Electrical Workers reported that there is a disa greement between that body and the Mount Hood Electrlo Company. The committee advised that tha company had announced that It would pay 11 less than tha scale and would require its employes to work one hour longer. They reported no Immediate prospect of a settlement. Dr. K. Nelson Allen and Rev. W. F. Reagor. of the Portland Ministerial As sociation, were present at last night's session.

WATER RIGHTS SOUGHT SENATE BILL EXPOSES EASTEJtX OREGON DIVISION. - SlcCulloch Would Make Third Zone Comprise Baker, Harney and Malheur Counties. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan. 27. (Speciall) What Is considered one of the biggest moves yet attempted to ward further development of Eastern Oregon will be Incorporated in a bill to be Introduced by Senator McCulloch early next week asking for the creation of a third water division to consist of Baker, Harney and Malheur Counties. "Without doubt, next to tha railroad, this will mean one of the greatest steps yet taken toward the development of that section." said Senator McCulloch. "The railroad Is a necessity, but the railroad Is of small value unless there are settlers and tho settlers cannot come in unless they can secure water rights for irrigation purposes. "In the early days representatives of the big live stock companies entered that section and squatted on all of the water holes. Now the rights are tied up so closely It is Impossible for the settler to secure satisfaction aa far as water rights are concerned. "The present Board of Water Com missioners has, in Eastern Oregon alone, 10 years' work piled on its shoulders. With a new division creat ed all of the adjudications could be easily cared for rapidly. -It is not a question of expense, but of expediency. It has been shown that the water divi sions have more than paid the cost of operating them and the new division, under the water code? would be profit able rather than an expense. "In Harney County alone there are 3,000,000 acres of Irrigable land that is still virgin soil. The possibilities are practically unlimited and this Is with out exception the crying need of that portion of the state." IMMIGRANT SAVES CASH Young Bulgarian Has $1200 Before Becoming Citizen.
